  After the gig ....

  WOW! what a gig!!!

  It certainly has been far too long since we did a gig with NBZ. This was a fantastic night with a big, enthusiastic crowd and NBZ responded with a serious performance. They really were firing on all cylinders and it could have been mistaken for a party if it wasn't for the outstanding musicianship on the stage. They covered the lot, cracking R&B, blues, a touch of pop/soul and even a hint of reggae. Straight after the gig we talked to the band about a speedy return and hope to be able to announce a Spring date in the next week or so .....

Briefley ....

Dennis Greaves heads up the band, playing guitar and singing better now than at any time in his career, a legend in waiting persona! Then there is the mighty rhythm section of Gerry McAvoy and Brendan O'Neill blowing up a storm! Gerry is a bass player's bass player, who spent 15 years laying it down for Rory Gallagher as did Brendan on drums for 10 years. 

Over this fat slice of rhythm, comes the unique harmonica of Mark Feltham ,since January 2001 Mark has been back playing with Nine Below Zero needless to say anyone who knows the band will be aware of his history, himself and Dennis being the founder members of the band. Live, this combination is lethal, hammering and nailing the big R n B sound to the floor of many a famous stage. It is not unusual for the band to sell out big clubs weeks up front so don't leave it too late for this Cluny gig.


"NBZ are brilliant live, they work so hard , the audience often go home as exhausted as the band" so says Andrew Zweck of top promoters Harvey Goldsmith Ents. They have carved out a very credible niche, a place they will be for a very long time to come, because, who else is this good?.....this often? NBZ are the viable alternative to Alternative, a band that most definately come to play, a band with their own genuine sound and deep understanding of their musical roots. NBZ have a tireless spirit, no regrets, no excuses, no crap.
